This is Amie Wilson and I am interviewing Louise
Smith. Today is November the eleventh and we are
here at St. Mary's Court recreation center.
Tell us something about yourself, Ms. Smith.
Well, first of all, my name is Louise Smith and
I am a resident of St. Mary's Court. My life has
been very simply played, and yet I'm not sorry that
I lived my life.
Where do you—you've told us you live here at St.
Mary's Court. What kind of work do you do now?
Well, really, I'm retired and I do whatever I
enjoy doing at a particular time.
How long has your family lived in D.C.?
Life.
Where did they live before coming here?
They're originally from Roanoke, Virginia—West
Virginia, Roanoke, West Virginia, but I never lived,
there.
You were born in Washington, D.C.?
At 1211 Eleventh Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C
O.K.
Which at that time was a very nice, supposed to be
elite neighborhood. Now it is not.
Where did they live, you told me where they were
living when you were born.
In D.C. They emigrated from Roanoke, West Virginia
to Washington, D.C.
Tell us about your parents and your brothers and
sisters.
